Minister of Transport in Delhi Government, Kailash Gahlot on Sunday said, “Under the ‘Switch Delhi’ campaign the Government will soon start facilitating registrations of e-autos.”
Speaking on the development, Minister Gahlot said, “In the last few years the Delhi Government has been promoting e-rickshaws by promoting a subsidy of Rs 30,000, and after the EV policy the same subsidy has been extended e-autos and e-carts. Scrapping incentives of up to Rs 7,500 are also available.”
He said, “Two and three-wheelers contribute two-thirds of pollution in Delhi, and three-wheelers run on the road for 12-16 hours every day.”
“The focus of Delhi EV policy on this segment to enable their transition to electric will greatly benefit Delhi’s air quality,” Gahlot added.
Adding to the statement, Minister Kailash Gahlot said, “E-autos can complement e-rickshaws in providing zero pollution last mile connectivity in Delhi. The Government will soon bring out a scheme to facilitate easy registration of e-autos in Delhi.”
“The road tax and registration will be waived off for all-electric three-wheelers, and by switching to an electric auto, an individual can save about Rs 29,000 annually,” he added.
